Tile Activity Using your 12 tiles make a rectangle with a length of 7. Does it work? Is 7 a factor of 12? Is 12 a multiple of 7? Try use your 12 tiles to make a rectangle with a length of 5. Do you think it will work? Why?

Tile Activity What are ALL the rectangles you can make with 12 tiles? What are ALL the factors of 12?

Tile Activity On another day, do a similar activity with 20 tiles, 24, 30, 36, 48. Try the same activity with 13 tiles.
